HOURCAR comes to Augsburg

Dec. 3, 2006

An
HOURCAR hub has been established at Augsburg College for the convenience
of the Augsburg community and surrounding neighborhoods. President Paul
C. Pribbenow authorized funding to keep the hub active at Augsburg for
the next three years to foster alternative transportation options for
college faculty and staff, and to provide the service to nearby neighborhood
citizens who might not otherwise have the option.

It is hoped that Augsburg faculty, staff and students will take advantage
of this option to augment routine commuting via public transit. People
who use public transit for their daily commute will have use of this car
for campus business that requires a vehicle. Anyone who wishes to sign
up for the program (as an individual member) can do so by going to: http://www.hourcar.org.
Future talks with HOURCAR will lead to a special membership program for
Augsburg Departments who wish to sign up as a group for a "campus
business only" membership.
